True Colours

Chapter 3

I enter the gates and feel safe. I feel a firm hand on my shoulder, 'Hey..' says Jay, total shock, I mean he's never spoken to me before. I hesitate and let out a muffled 'Hey' back. 'You ok?', 'Yh.. why wouldn't I be? ' Listen Rosa, I saw you yesterday.. im not supid and even though we rarely talk im always here if you need to talk to me.' And he swiftly walked off.

I feel kind of relieved, relieved that someones there for me. I'm greeted by a bunch of smiling faces and we all embrace into a hug. Definately safe. My first lessons History, which bores anyone to death. I go and take my seat at the back and begin to day dream out of the window. The blue skies hover past me in a soft gazy blur. 'Rosa, are you ok?' My best mate Lauren asks whilst nudging me. ' Yh.. uhm fyn.' you've been acting realy sttarnge lately, almost distancing yourself from us all', she says. ' No, im fine just excited for the summer holidays!' I give a grin, yeh.. i've fooled her, but who am I kidding I'm only going to be in for a whole load of shit.

Seeing as it is the last day of term, the day drags on. The sun beaming in throught the windows and blinding my eyes. I ponder upon what happened the previous evening, is something seriously abou to go wrong or is it just my imagination? I stroll along to assembly, ' Hey Rosa! Im having a blasting Birthday party, you gona be able to come!?, 'Yehh! hopefully!' 'I'll call you and let you know', thats Sarah; the prettiest one out of us mates, I'm too tired and stressed to walk home with my mates so I walk out of the gates alone, from the corner of me eyes i catch a glimpse of Jay watching me. I try avoiding him but I mean how long can i carry on like this, he lives on the same god damn road! So i give him a friendly wave and he gives me a warm smile.

I stand out side the front yard, my father's car parked up outside. Has something happened? I open the door and walk in. I stand quietly on the landing. and then i'm taken back by shock to see my father at the living room door. 'Hey beutiful', ' uhhmm, hey, why are you home so early dad?' I say shakily. 'Oh, so can't I spend some quality time with my daughter?' 'I..I...I guess?' He comes over to me grabs my waist and drags me in for a long lasting kiss. 'DAD' I bellow! 'Shut ur fucking mouth you piece of crap' He drags me to his bedroom and begins to tear off my uniform. I close my eyes as tight as I can, I feel a strong sharp pain rush through my body as he leans over me. This first encounter lasted for 10 minutes ( from the swift coversation on the landing to this point.... ) straight. I'm left to lay on the bed motionless. He pulls his trousers back up and smirks, within a minute I hear the front door slam and he swears to himself.

As soon as i think he's far from home i leap off the bed run into my beedroom and slice my belly. The blood gushes out outragously. As the pain pierces through i sob and sob, till theres no sign of teas left. What have I ever done to deserve such hate? My father, who has never even attempted to show any possible sign of love.
